What movies can you watch over and over and over ?
What movies, notwithstanding being good, can you not watch again ?
Background:
When I channel surf, I notice that there are movies I enjoy watching (usually portions of,) an endless number of times. The Godfather movies (I & II) have been shown on Bravo more often than an Ab-Device informercial. Still, whenever I come upon them, no matter which part of the movie is on, I can get right into watching and enjoying it. Same sort of thing with Braveheart, for example, which I've seen parts of > than a dozen times. Recently, The Fugitive (Harrison Ford,) has been showing frequently and I've had a similar reaction.
Yet, there are some movies that, while I have enjoyed them initially, I somehow can't bring myself to watch again, usually because the story, ( which I already know,) is too disturbing. For example, Ransom, (Mel Gibson,) while a good movie, somehow got me too wound up because the idea of my kid(s) being kidnapped is just too disturbing. Similarly, Life is Beautiful (Roberto Begnini - sp?) which I thought was a great movie, I wouldn't want to watch again because I find the end to be too much of a downer. [ Sort of a reverse of Ransom, in LIB, instead of parent losing child, child loses....well, you can guess.] Convincing depictions of that sort of stuff I just take a pass on.
]BTW, I am NOT talking about movies you would not watch again because they simply suck.
What movies are on your lists ?
